Hi!

I have two SLES 10 KVM machines running on a cluster (1 master, 3 Nodes).
All VMS are on a ISCSI/LVM Store.

On Node 2 there's a SLES 10 which is backed up in a 2-day recurrence via SNAPSHOT. Works fine.

On Node 3 there's a new SLES 10 KVM. With this VM there are some problems. If i back it up via SNAPSHOT or SUSPEND, the backup runs fine, but the machine is OFFLINE afterwards. In the Backup log, it says, machine is up and running after backup, but thats not true!
I have to manually start the machine and it seems like the machine is confused because it will do a full filesystemcheck on boot!

Now i tried to backup via STOP, but that does not work, it gives Error:

command 'qm --skiplock shutdown 120 && qm wait 120 600' failed with exit code 255

What can i do to backup this machine without error? Is there a way?

I use PROXMOX VE 1.9 and on the specific NODE i had to downgrade the KERNEL because of failures with another UBUNTU Server which freezes with new kernel.

Please help!
